Or, welcome to my low-maintenance heck.

There really isn't any other way to describe Ibrahim Abu Mustafa's recent series on the Al-Ansar Brigades published on the REUTERS wire than to say that it looks like he thinks he's a terrorist group's official PR agent. The menacing gun (complete with march), the accomplished tunnel rat, the repurposed surplus vehicle, and the traditional extreme limbo contest—All arranged as carefully as can be, to ensure that this previously unknown offshoot of Hamas looks as scary as humanly possible.

Palestinian militant leaders in the Gaza Strip promised on Wednesday to stop firing rockets against Israel after Egypt warned that any further shootings may prompt another war, officials said.

An Israeli air strike killed three Palestinian militants, one of them Hamdan, in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, said medical workers in the Hamas-controlled coastal territory. An Israeli army spokesman said the air strike targeted a group of militants who had fired an anti-tank missile towards a military patrol on the Israeli side of the border.
